Texas Driving Records Request Information

Maintaining the driving records of all Texas residents with a driver’s license is the responsibility of Texas Department of Public Safety. The Texas driving record maintained by the Texas DPS includes your driving history such as:

• Time and date of license issuance
• Traffic accidents
• Traffic violations
• Suspensions or revocations
• Major violations
• DUI reports

As your driving history is a public record, people other than you can view it. Those permitted to make a request for and view your Texas driving records include:

• Potential employers
• Insurance companies
• Government, legal or law enforcement agencies

You can make Texas Driving Records Request for four different categories. These include:

Status record:

The status record includes:

• Your personal information such as your DOB and mailing address
